Coroner may issue summons for witnesses to give evidence at Stardust inquest

Gardaí survey the scene of the deadly fire at Stardust in 1981.

The coroner may be forced to issue summons for a number of witnesses who have "expressed an unwillingness" to give evidence before the Stardust inquest.

The long-awaited inquest will finally begin next Tuesday, April 25, and will commence with families delivering “pen portraits” to remember their loved ones who died in the tragedy.
